You can have Paget’s disease in any bones in your body, but most people have it in their spine, pelvis, skull, or leg bones. The disease may affect only one bone or several bones, but it does not affect the entire skeleton.f you have Paget’s disease in your leg bones, you may also have bowed legs. Your spine might curve if the disease is in the bones of the spine. People with Paget’s disease in the bones of the skull sometimes have: 1  Headaches. 2  Hearing loss. 3  Large head size.

Osteogenesis imperfecta Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones. The term osteogenesis imperfecta means imperfect bone formation. People with this condition have bones that break easily, often from mild trauma or with no apparent cause.

- Blount disease is a growth disorder that affects the bones of the lower leg, causing them to bow outward. It can affect people at any time during the growing process, but it's more common in kids younger than 4 and in teens. In Blount disease, a lot of pressure is put on the growth plate at the top of the tibia.

- Bone Disease. Bone disease is a condition that damages the skeleton and makes bones weak and prone to fractures. Weak bones are not a natural part of aging. While strong bones begin in childhood, people of all ages can improve their bone health.steoporosis can be prevented, as well as diagnosed and treated. Low bone mass is when bones lose minerals, like calcium, that make them strong, and as a result, bones become weak and fracture easily. Fractures to weak bones typically occur from falling or other common accidents.

What diseases affect your bones? There are quite a few disease that can affect the bones in your body. I will name the top 3. They are Osteoporosis, Osteogenesis imperfecta, and Paget's disease..) Osteogenesis imperfecta is a condition that causes extremely fragile bones. This disease is known an congenital, meaning it occurs at birth. 3.) Paget's Disease is a chronic bone condition that is characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process.

What is Osteoporosis and What Causes It? Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps. Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” Viewed under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a honeycomb.

- Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by an abnormal loss of bone mass and disintegration of bone structure in older adults. This can cause bone fragility and increases the risk of fractures and breaks. Most individuals who have this disease are not aware of it until a fracture occurs.aget's Disease. Paget's disease is a disorder of cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts that are responsible for breaking down, rebuilding and remolding bone tissue. Paget's disease causes bones to become thickened and enlarged but also brittle due to abnormal structural development.

- What is Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)? Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) or Brittle Bone Disease is a complicated, variable and rare disorder. Its major feature is a fragile skeleton, but many other body systems are also affected. OI is caused by a mutation (change) in a gene that affects bone formation, bone strength and the structure of other tissues.

- Osteomyelitis is infection in the bone. Osteomyelitis can occur in infants, children, and adults. Different types of bacteria typically affect the different age groups. In children, osteomyelitis most commonly occurs at the ends of the long bones of the arms and legs, affecting the hips, knees, shoulders, and wrists.

Diseases of the Skeletal System Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that causes them to be fragile, resulting in fractures. The bones actually become thinner and less dense. This is either due to the body not forming enough new bone, or too much bone being reabsorbed into the body, or both. Osteoporosis is more common in women than men and tends to develop after menopause. Cause: There are many causes of osteoporosis.

Bone spur facts Bone spur facts. A bone spur (osteophyte) is a tiny pointed outgrowth of bone. Bone spurs are usually caused by local inflammation, such as from degenerative arthritis or tendonitis. Bone spurs develop in areas of inflammation or injury of nearby cartilage or tendons. Bone spurs may or may not cause symptoms.

Scheuermann's disease Scheuermann's disease. Scheuermann's disease is a self-limiting skeletal disorder of childhood. Scheuermann's disease describes a condition where the vertebrae grow unevenly with respect to the sagittal plane; that is, the posterior angle is often greater than the anterior. This uneven growth results in the signature wedging shape of the vertebrae, causing kyphosis.

- When you think of growing bones, you might think they grow out from the center of the bone. But the long bones in the legs and arms grow from an area at either end of these bones called the physis, or more commonly, the growth plate.

Overview Bone cancer is an uncommon cancer that begins in a bone. Bone cancer can begin in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the long bones that make up the arms and legs. Several types of bone cancer exist. Some types of bone cancer occur primarily in children, while others affect mostly adults. The term bone cancer doesn't include cancers that begin elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone.

Osteoporosis in Men Osteoporosis in Men Introduction. Osteoporosis (or porous bone) is a disease in which bones become weak and are more likely to break. Without prevention or treatment, osteoporosis can progress without pain or symptoms until a bone breaks (fractures). Fractures commonly occur in the hip, spine, and wrist. Although women are more likely to get osteoporosis, it is not just a disease of elderly women. Osteoporosis is more common in white or Asian women older than 50 years of age, but osteoporosis can occur in almost any person at any age.

- A bone spur (osteophyte) is a bony growth formed on normal bone. Most people think of something sharp when they think of a spur, but a bone spur is just extra bone. It's usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear or pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, or nerves in the body. Common places for bone spurs include the spine, shoulders, hands, hips, knees, and feet.
